Live and in living color… an unmade bed! LOL! And my farmer's tan! So loud my posters fall off the wall!

Epiphone LS100 with Duncan Custom 5, Dimarzio Gravity storm, Randall RVC5, Orange PPC112. Visual Sound Trutone, eZdrummer, SM57, a little bit of compression on garageband

I like the slide at 2:34 ;o)

Try to record two rythm guitars and pan one to the left and the other to the right next time!
The solo would also sound better with rythm guitars backing the whole song up.

Anyway the sound is kinda good ;o)

Dude, I love the tone. The Custom 5 is way underrated especially for 80's style rock. A bit rawer than a JB, sweeter than a Distortion.
 
Re: high gain rhythm and the dreaded custom5

I forgot the recording term for it but i tried to just lower the sound of the rhythm guitar, perhaps I lowered it too much.

Thanks all! To me the guitars sound small and boxy - of course from a small boxy amp. I'll get a bigger Randall and cab someday, hehe.

Dude, I'm listening to it through a cheap set of multimedia speakers and it sounds baddass! I'll have to try it through headphones.

It's surprising what good tones can come from a small amp that's cranked up and miked properly. I think your tone in this video is a great example.
